Zinc sulphide...

Could SZn be used as paint, mixed in some clear base to be applied onto
walls to provide some glow from its luminiscent properties ? Has it
been done ? Or is there better/cheaper ways ? |

There is more to ZnS than ZnS. The optical properties are strongly affected |
by ho perfect the crystal structure is. That includes doping impurity.

It is used in paint. I like the name of this site--"Bozzle" 
http://www.bozzle.com/i_GlossaryXYZ.html
"Zinc Sulphide. Mixed with barium sulphate to produce Lithopone. Used in
cheap white paints."
what do you mean by 'glow'. 'Black light' effects?

or just 'highly reflective' enamel effect? |
